Subject Can not coonect a database in design time on XE8?
Author hamacker
Hi everybody,

Recently I upgrade from XE5 to XE8 and now, in design time I can´t coonect any database, local or remote.
When I try to connect a remote database IBO says 'connection reject by remote interface'
When I try t connect a local database IBO says 'unavaliable database'.


But only in design time, because in runtime everything runs fine.

Using Delphi7+IBO5, when I try to connect a database in design time, a dialogbox question ask where is my vendor lib(fbclient.dll), if choose the correct fbclient.dll and open database. There is only first time, not question anymore.

I did´t had fbclient.dll in path system, because my apps is 32bits and fbserver (local testing) is 64bits and I prefer to put fbclient.dll in the same directory where I put my .exe´s.

If you have XE8, please tell me if you open any database in design time.
I will try to change my Firebird to 32bits and put fbclient.dll in envoroment path to do more test, but I need to know if someone have my scenario and runs fine.

My IBO version is 5.7.7 2340, I test from IBO source and IBO binaries installer.

Thanks a lot.
